2Prologue part 1: Boredom.
It was just another boring afternoon for Squad 11's Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki. Now that his only source of amusement and entertainment is out doing patrol duties he was beyond bored. His Lieutenant was off running around. He tried to get others squads to "play" with him but they hastily refused, they knew Kempachi's kind of play. So with nothing else to do, no summons from the Bald-headed, eye-squinting Elder Captain, he decided to visit the old blowhard and request permission to go into the World of the Living. He secretly hoped he'd run into Ichigo Kurosaki there. Flash stepping was annoying to use to the 11th squad captain but it was the fastest way of traveling if he wants to get permission. His Lieutentant and adopted daughter, Yachiru suddenly came free falling out of nowhere and ever so gracefully perched on her captain's left shoulder with a huge smile on her child-like face. Kenpachi gave a small smile for the only one who'd keep him calm was his Lieutenant.
"Hey, kenny-sempai...whats the big hurry?" Yachiru chimed when kenpachi finally made it to the inner walls of HQ.
"im getting permission to go into the World of the Living."
"Eh!? is kenny-san going to look for ichigo and ask him to play with kenny-san?"
"Thats the plan..." Kenpachi gave a savage grin and Yachiru giggled.
Inside HQ, kenpachi purposely made his way to the meeting hall and opened the huge wood and brass double-doors. And behold there he was. sitting behind his mohogany desk with his lieutenant ever so obediently stationed beside him. without looking up, the Elder Captain spoke in a calm yet firm voice.
"Hello Zaraki Kenpachi, you only show up here if you and the other captains were summoned for an importain meeting or you want to make a request...let me guess, you want permission to go into the World of the Living and seek out Ichigo to relieve your boredom. am i correct?
"yea." Kenpachi replied in a bored and annoyed tone.
"Can he sir!?" chimed his lieutenant who left her perch upon arrival and stood confindently by her captain.
"Hmm..." the Elder Captain stroked his aged beard as he debated to whether to grant it or not. He got complaints from the other squads about Kenpachi chasing them down and ordering them to play with him. Kenpachi grew aggitated then angry for this was the precise tactic that the Elder Captain used whenever it came to Kenpachi's request. Yachiru gave a baby-face pout as she waited for the verdict.
"I'll grant you permission on one condition."
"...?" Kenpachi had to hide his glee from peeking as he waited for the Old man to finished talking.
"I'll allow it but you have to complete your paper work when you get back and turn it in understand?"
"yes sir!" Kenpachi and Yachiru responded and turned to leave.
"Oh and one more thing, dont do too much damage in that world."
"I'll try not too."
Both left the meeting hall and kenpachi veered right going towards the massive cylinder pillers that gave the view of Soul Society. Yachiru was chatting away about what they were going to do once there.
"Your not going."
"...Ok" She replied and leaped through the pillers and vanished from site. Kenpachi followed suit and walked through the streets until he found a suitable spot to open the door to the human world. using the key that all squads where required to carry when doing mission in the human world, he thrusted into the air and space before him and turned it. There was a satifying click and the dimintional doorway appeared and opened. A Hell Butterfly came fluttering up to the eagared captain and hovered about. With this, Kenpachi was reassured that the Sweeper had passed through. He didnt have a pacific destination in mind only that it was a place where he'll never get bored or at least entertained. maybe he'll run into that orange-hair subsitute soul reaper. with that thought in mind Kenpachi waltz right on through the door with a smile on his scarred face.
**WORLD OF THE LIVING**
Running for her life was a woman about 6'0, slender with curves yet she was built like a warrior, an Amazon. Covered in black blood from head to toe, she ran to escape her captures. The woman had long black hair that spiked up in the back with tiny chimes tightly tied at each strand and yellow eyes. her face was perfectly an oval shaped with almond shaped eyes, high cheekbones, and yellowish cornea while her pupils a wide slits like a cat or a snake. In her hands she weild two twin katanas that were also smothered in black blood. The reason why she was running away armed was because she was told too. Her close friend stayed behind to buy her time, though she wanted to stay and help, she was mentally powerless. In her current state she'd only be in the way and get both of them killed.
As she ran the thoughts of what transpired before was that she met this pink-haired flamboyant man with good taste in music and they got to talking and before she knew it she was captivated by his charm. the rest of the memories were abit hazy. they shared a drink at a local bar and they had their first kiss. it was after that kiss that the woman was seeing doubles and then darkness. Shaking her head back to her now new current dilima she picked up noises from behind her and on both sides of her. those things with skulls like masks and hideous bodies frighten her. She stumbled and fell into a clearing and for a quick second to take a quick and short break. those monsters where cloaked in the shadows watching her and this tactic reminded her of her training with her late grandfather who had taught her the ways of the sword. She tried to calm her racing heart and in doing so made her release her untrained chi. A rustle in the grass and the sudden gust of wind made her snap to attention. She got up stiffly and tiredly to her feet and that was when those masked monster attacked.
Her last thought as she did her best to defend herself was that if she was to die this night at least she could bring these hideous creatures with her. Not too far off from her location was Kenpachi, who was moving so swiftly that to the trained eyes he looked to be floating but to others he looked like a a white apperation sailin across the ground. He felt that spiritual pressure and it excited him that upon first feel he hastily rushed to the source.
'Could it be ichigo? no, this one feel different...' He grinned like a madman at the prospect of finding a new playmate. he made it to the location and what he thought he saw was a male fightign off multitudes of Hollows but when said male turned to fend off another attack Kenpachi got an eyefull of exposed flesh. the woman was fighting like she abandon all reason and the instinct to survive or die trying was in full effect by the way her face was a blank cruel mask of a killer who enjoys the satisfaction of killing.
"Intresting..." Kenpachi mused as he watched from the sidelines and observed this woman. He notice her wounds were fatal but she kept on fighting and recieving more new wounds like kenpachi does when he "plays" with Ichigo. Kenpachi could tell and feel that her spiritual pressure was slowly ebbing away and she was on the verge of collasping. Disappointed, Kenpachi walked unto the playing field. The woman was unaware of the new arrivals for her focus was becoming fuzzy and her body couldnt take anymore blood lost.
she knew she wouldnt survive the next wave of attacks and she over taxed her exhusted body to its limits. her vision started to fade.
'Isnt there anyone who will save me?' she thought before collasping on the spot. a figure of a man dressed in a white with tattered hems on the ends and black clothes underneath came into her fading field of vison and she willed herself to stay focus and use this time to recouperate but there was no need her prayers were answered as she dimily watched her savior cut through the monsters like they were paper with his sharp ragged sword. when the last of the monsters were dispatched the man approached her.
"You did well, rest now."
The voice was rough and commanding but there was a gentlness in it. she complied to the command and let the darkness take her. Kenpachi looked at the woman on the ground and noted that her blades were held firmly still in her hands. She didnt move an inch when he nudged her with his food. He knew he should just leave her but after watching her fight and feeling her spiritual pressure he hate to admit that he was actually starting to develope a crush on her. Sighing, he reached down and picked her up. though she was covered in blood Kenpachi was surprise by her appearence now that he was holding her up close. throwing her over one shoulder he opened the doorway back to Soul Society and just like before, a hell butterfly came out and that gave Kenpachi the ok to proceed. One thought crossed his mind, how was he gonna explain this to the Elder Captain.
